Summary
Closes #230
NDCGMetricclass that evaluates the ranking quality of retrieved contexts using Normalized Discounted Cumulative Gain (NDCG)context_relevancy_callLLM helper to determine binary relevance of each context item, then computes NDCG based on position orderingRetrievalPrecisionMetric(same requirements, prompt, andcalculate_metricstructure)How it works
NDCG measures whether relevant contexts appear earlier in the retrieved list:
A score of 1.0 means relevant contexts are optimally ranked. A lower score means relevant items appear later than ideal.
